Peacefully knitting at her window, Mile
Gertrude nearly swooned away when she
saw her home invaded by so formidable
an array of authorities. But how great So
ever might have been her surprise, it in
nowise equaled the establishment of the in
vaders, who stood before her with open
mouths, as if transfxed. The seventy
springs of the worthy maiden, and the
hairy treble wart which softened the aus
tere outlines of her nose, produced on their
minds an impression they had not ex-
pected.
''Sapristi,n whispered the colonel to the
public prosecutor, 'the lady seems 70 me
rather too ripe to have anything to do
with crime Of this nature. .
Although visibly discounted, the at
torney put on a sckly smile.
Matters had to be explained, however.
They were in most satisfactory manner
by Monsieur Gregoire, the beadle of Saint
Ursula, who threw so much light on the
affair that it only made the public prose
cutor's vexation all the more evident.
A pugl Was it possible? 1t was so pos
sible thatit was the truth. The prosecutor
had to believe the evidence Of his own
eyes, when the skeleton of Mira, Invested
of its winding sheet, lay upon the office
table, testifying to the truth Of what Mon
sieur Gregoire had advanced.
They still laugh about this affair in
Briqueville, and the merry townsmen pre-
dict that it Will make Monsieur le Pro
cureur's fortune. As for Corp. Poireau.

GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, DEC. 30-The stock market
was excessively dull to-day owing to the
general indisposition among operators to
trade over three days holiday, to which
was added the uncertainty regarding the
outcome OF the strike on the Reading
road, the latter which would ordinarily
be depressing influence failed Of it's
effect by reason Of the general confidence
that no blockade in the business of the
road would occur. The trading to CAV was
of the smallest retail character, and beyond
Reading and VAnderbilt's possessed no
significance whatever. The impression
became general before the opening Of
business that dividends would not be
increased and rather heavy opening re-
suited, but prices rallied and after the
announcement Of the dividends the only
sSles were those Of traders which
had clung to the idea of increase.
The same feeling affected LacKawauna
also, but the iRsignifcsnce CT the move
ment may be inferred from the f8st that
only one stock fiuctuatCd as widely as
per cent. Union Pacific was G feature
and became strong on the renewal OF the
rum0r that Congress would robably take
action favorable TO the company New
England, Western Union and Richmond
ana West Point were all firm attimes. s1d
toward noon the dealings were enlivened
by sharp squirt IN Manitoba, which,
however, soon sank into dulIness, the
advance being lost, though il after
ward gained G portion IF it. The
opening was heavy 1t declines extending
to !, but the market was very dull and
prices were quickly rallied, and before
noon fractional advances had been es-
tablished in nearly ali the active list.
The disappointment over the Vanderbilts
dividends threw over the advance and
gagged the list Of till the early gains had
been generally materislized. The market
then became stagnsnt and remained
with )ut a movement or feature FIR
the rest Of the day, c'osiog dull and
steAdy at close to the opening prices. TIE
final changes were confined to the active
list, the NEST important being decline

Shall Prohibition Preyailf

BY all means, yes! By all things
that 60 to make men and women
better; by all things which 60 to
make homes happy and men and
women respectable; by all means
which make society better, elevates
men aud women and raises the
drunkard from the ditch and places
him on a level with others Of res
probability. Yesl
Who are the men and what can be
their ideas Of raising the standard Of
society when they can sign a petition
asking that drunkard making holes
be again opened in our little city,
which, while not az it might have
been, yet it is 30 much better than
it was that it seems strange that men
should be 80 blind as to want sa-
looms restored.
Many Of those who sign these pc
titions are members of the church,
who 60 regularly to their place of
worship, ask Of the Lord forgiveness
of sins committed and omitted, and
His guidance for the future, and then
90 out of the church and sign for a
saloon to be opened, next door to
their church, if Unnecessary, for they
do not care where it is only SO it is
opened. And then again hundreds
Of this same class are the ones that
run these drunkard makers. What
can be their ideas Of the condition
society should be in to thus abuse
their profession and the advance
ment Of the church. Do they think
that q church cannot prosper with
out a saloon3 Do they think that
neither can prosper without the
other? Shame OH such practices and
professions.
DO not these men know that q
line is slowly but surely being
drawn between the men who cry for
saloons and the drunkard makers,
and those who cannot see any good
coming out of them, but are a source
of evil continually menacing the
homes of women and children and
often drives them to the street in the
direst of poverty? The time is surely
coming when right and Justice will
surely triumph in this matter.
Wives and children also have rights
in this matter which will surely as
sert themselves, 30 that the wives and
children of the saloon keepers-who
parade in their finery and live in
fine houses built by money obtained
in the unholy rum traffic which rob
bed these poor women and chill
dren from what was justly theirs,
and would have been but for these
rum holes,-may not pass them by
scornfully.
Again we say shame upon the men
who cannot, or will not, see the enor-
NOUS evil of the saloons, the one
thing which drags both the rum
seller and the drunkard to perdition,
for the good book says: "Woe
unto him that giveth his neighbor
drink" and mo drunkard shall
enter the kingdom of heaven"
Therefore, LET PROHIBITION PREVAIL!

Union County Old Settlers Association.

ALcEsTER, Sept. IL, 18S7.-On the
9Th inst. a goodly number of Union
County's old settlers met in the
beautiful grove Of P. c. Slocum's,
one and a half miles from Alcester,
for the pursose of forming an Old
Settlers Association. Seats and
tables had been prepared in the
grove. A large banner was stretched
across the entrance to the grounds
with the vast WELCOME in large let
tiers on it. After hand shaking and
a short visit, the ladies spread the
tables with a hountiful repast of
good things that would tempt the
appetite. After dinner the Webster
family, the famous musicians, hav-
ing arrived on the grounds, tho
company listened to some Of their
best music, after which officers were
elected for a permanent organization
which is to be known as Union Co.
Old Settlers Association. All per-
sons who were residents of the county
in 1875 or before may become men,
bers by sending their name and post
Office address with date OF settle-
ment to the Secretary. An annual
meeting is to be held on the first
Thursday in September, where
everybody, old and young, will be
| welcomed.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year. VIM. Thus

After q pleasant visit, during
which many incidents Of old times
were related, the company departed

of meeting again in the near future
and having a grand good time.
